What I Took Away From Alt

It just so happens that I took more away from Alt than just amazing truffles. I happened to learn a few things too. I'm not gonna lie after attending Alt for three years I've heard a lot of the same things over and over. Even though a lot of the info is the same it doesn't mean I don't need to hear it. Like how many times have I heard, "add a pin-it"button to your blog pictures and I still haven't done it. It's always good to get a reminder and a kick in the pants to do the things I know I should be doing.

I've compiled a few of my favorite tips on things I hadn't considered before.

The above quote is from Merrilee from the blog Mer Mag. Out of all the panels this was the one I was most excited to go to. I really really really want to work with brands this year. And not just with giveaways but I want to do more brand campaigns with companies.

// Do as much work as possible for the brands. You have to make it as easy as you can for brands to work with you.

// After your brand campaign is over send the company a report of how it went. Let them know what your stats were for that week and how you worked hard to give exposure to the campaign.

// Where do most of you readers go? Focus your social media efforts there. Make your Facebook cover photo clear and use correct sizing (850 x 315 px) makes it clear. Use the app Static HTML to add pages to your Facebook page.

// The best things to post about on Facebook are behind the scenes photos and insight.
